Month: October 2014

MmmmBLAH! Welcome to an episode we’ve all been waiting months to do, our horror one! If only we could do this more than once a year! We cover the history of horror comics, get a peek at Merk’s Giant Size Man-Thing, see what kind of spooky stuff we’re all into currently, and even talk about things other than comics quite a bit! The terror! The horror!

Get the hell outta here, Marvel and DC! We don’t love you anymore! This week it’s all about indie books: a little bit of the history, their current boom, and some really cool books that you (and we) might not have heard about. Plus: another exciting installment in our multipart series, Todd Tales!

This episode is a not-so-brief history of comics, as the boys discuss the highlights and missteps of Marvel and DC through the decades, compare their own definitive stories, characters and runs, and decide once and for all which publisher WINS COMICS. And these results are scientific!

This week, we’re tackling game changers, with very little prep! Hopefully it doesn’t show! Those things that have come, seemingly out of nowhere, and changed the comic book industry. Grim ‘n gritty re-imaginings, non big-two comic publishers, the balance of art and writing (it was a little off in the ’90s, y’know), and the whiplash effect of what happens after Grant Morrisson leaves a book.
